Anticipation Grows for Sequels to Action Hits "Nobody" and "Violent Night"

Excitement is building around the next chapters of two much-loved action films, as shared by film producer Kelly McCormick during promotions for an upcoming movie at SXWS. There is a buzz around the return to the cinematic worlds of "Nobody", featuring Bob Odenkirk, and "Violent Night", with David Harbour in the lead, both productions set to advance under the banner of Universal Pictures. McCormick expressed optimism about the possible timely commencement of both sequels, hinting at the end of the current year for "Nobody 2" and the start of the next for "Violent Night 2", dependent on aligning the busy schedules of the involved parties.

Adding to the enthusiasm, David Leitch, another pivotal producer on these projects, highlighted Universal's deep investment in seeing these stories evolve into fully-fledged franchises. With actors like Harbour and Odenkirk eager to reprise their roles, the sequels are off to a promising start. McCormick also shed light on the writing process, mentioning that several drafts have been completed and the creative process is flourishing, though some work remains.

"Nobody" first introduced audiences to Odenkirk's Hutch, a seemingly average family man with a violent past, while "Violent Night" delivered an unconventional hero in Harbour's Santa Claus, pitted against mercenaries during the holiday season. Both films managed to blend action with a unique sense of identity and are set for exciting returns.

Apart from these thrilling updates, McCormick and Leitch are gearing up for "The Fall Guy", featuring Ryan Gosling. In this action comedy, Gosling portrays Colt Seavers, an out-of-luck stuntman entangled in a mystery to save his ex-girlfriend Jody's film after her lead actor disappears.

As audiences eagerly await the arrival of "Nobody 2" and "Violent Night 2", the anticipation for these sequels indicates the enduring appeal of action movies with a twist. Stay tuned for more updates on these and other major upcoming film releases.
